There are a lot of GPS tracking apps for the iPhone, and I'd like to get input on which one(s) to use from people who have used them to geotag in Lightroom 4.

I've read reviews on some that output a GPX log that they don't include time stamps. Others track, but aren't clear if they output a GPX log. Also, I'd like to know for the ones that do output a GPX log, what method do you use to get it on the computer?

Lastly, for those using Android, is My Tracks a viable solution?

I'll second the recommendation for MotionX-GPS. You might find this Jeffrey Friedl blog post quite interesting, comparing the iPhone GPS (and MotionX-GPS app) with a couple of dedicated Garmin trackers:

In terms of getting the .gpx tracklog from phone to computer, there are several ways (obviously iTunes sync included) but I found the easiest was to simply email it to myself then pick up the attachment when back at the PC.
